Confesso que terminei o livro anterior um pouco cansado de Duna. Sentia falta do deserto e de como as coisas eram antes de Paul virar esta figura messiânica. Este livro me trouxe um pouco daquilo de volta com Leto II e Ghanima, que pra mim, foram o ponto mais interessante a se observar nesse livro. A vontade de ambos de fazerem diferente e quererem agir de uma forma melhor que seu pai é muito instigante. Além disso, fiquei muito feliz com o retorno de Jéssica a um caráter mais central, e conhecer Farad'n que se torna seu púpilo, também permitiu um novo olhar sobre a Casa Corrino.
Eu achava que lendo este terceiro livro eu me daria por satisfeito nesse mundo, mas ainda fico querendo saber o que Leto Atreides II fará no futuro.

Really surprised how much more i enjoyed this than the first Dune. Actually feel that this is the best of the series so far. Messiah was great but is comparatively smaller in scope. Children of Dune uses all the amazing world building and characters from the first book and takes them in interesting and unexpected directions.

Great book.
The religious and political themes are very deep and complex. Might need to reread a couple times better understand this book.

The fact that this is the worst book of the original three is saying something. Had it been anyone else's book besides frank herbert, this would've been their best. "J'y suis, j'y reste" shook me to my core. Great but not as good as messiah.
